Tiny stories via satellite from the Mojave Desert

Late-night radio
for the inner life.

Literary audio fiction told by one unmistakable voice—seven-minute dispatches from a recurring desert world, followed by a minute of night.

TRANSMISSION 23 · COTTUFF, CA

The listening experience

Eight minutes away from everything.

Not quite a podcast. Not quite radio drama. Dispatch is closer to finding a frequency after midnight and realizing someone is still awake.

A voice finds you

One performer. Everyone else is heard only through Geezer’s replies.

03:30

The world opens

A phone call, a dog, a porch light—small things disclose a larger question.

The story lets go

The narration ends. The Mojave night remains for one more minute.

Your first dispatch

The Little Doorway

EPISODE 01 · 8 MIN

Begin on the porch. It is late. Fred is on the telephone, coyotes are announcing themselves beyond the washes, and something is passing over the desert sky.

Why start here?It contains the whole signal: humor, mystery, family, desert night, and the feeling that an ordinary conversation may be a doorway.
